As I write this, I am sat in Guernsey International(!) Airport waiting for a delayed plane. The airport is about the size of a football pitch and has one shop and one cafe, but it does have WiFi so it allows me to blog and catch up on my Facebook habit!

I will return later in the week to fill you in on all the banter, japes and general jokery from our weekend away in the Bailiwick.

for sale - one football player

Recently listed for sale is one football player, named Nicolas Anelka.
With extensive footballing experience he has been evaluated thus:-

Not good enough for Arsenal
Not good enough for Real Madrid
Not good enough for Paris Saint-Germain
Not good enough for Liverpool
Not good enough for Manchester City
Not good enough for Fenerbahçe
Not good enough for Bolton Wanderers
And evidently not good enough for Chelsea

In other news, my beloved Manchester United won the European Championship, thanks in part to a missed penalty by the aforementioned Anelka

A video about PCSOs but I have to add that it's not real!
Oh no - real PCSOs are far worse

magic's cookery tips

Having been abandoned, first by my parents when they went to Ireland, and now by my Italian housemate who could cook, I have to fend for myself in the food department.

Through extensive research I have discovered a few important points.

a) hot pan on plastic tub means melting
b) pan with no water on hot hob means burning
c) hot oven tray with no oven gloves means your fingers get a bit hurty
d) when making homemade chicken kebabs it really helps if the oven is on

If you fail to heed point d) you end up with an evening meal of two toasted pittas with a glass of fizzy pop and a yoghurt!

in these few weeks

In the past few weeks a number of things, both exciting and not, have happened

* Roots has happened - I went on the Medical team again, had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting a bunch of great new people
* Work has happened, but nothing overly interesting has happened there
* Summer has arrived - it was 25 degrees today and its been pretty hot at other times during the week
* Barcalona boss Frank Rijkaard will leave his post at the end of the season, proving the great Magic punditry correct
* Manchester United have beaten Chelsea into second place in the Premiership, giving them their 10th Premier League title and their 17th league title
